8GB for "futureproofing"

If it means getting a lesser important component, 4GB will be fine if you aren't going to play VR.

I suggest trying to convince him on the 8gb model. It's $50 and makes the build more future proof as textures become more detailed and games become generally more difficult on the hardware ($50 now beats a new video card later). Don't know enough about the specs to quote any, but just giving you my 2 cents.

Wait until the aftermarket cooler RX 480's are here, unless they're already here and I was just unaware. The stock ones run hot and loud.
